Some word are bandied about to describe every Tom, Dick and Harry** ......

 

But when it concerns Johan... these words mean exactly what they say... he was a legend and he was world class.

 

 

 

 

 

** bit inappropriate to mention in this thread... but I've also heard this as "Tom's dick is hairy"

The current Barcelona success is also partly due to his influence on the culture of the club.

And not many players are successful on the pitch as well a great manager

He was instrumental in laying down the foundations of 2 biggest football clubs in the world, the one at Ajax Amsterdam and the other, La Masia Academy at FC Barcelona.

 

One of his most successful "disciples" of his brand of football is the in-coming Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola.

Yes there may have been other great players or other great managers. But i think of all the people in world football thus far, his influence has been the greatest.
